Week 10 Records
Tommy 8-6
Lauren 9-5
Marcus 11-3
Packers (4-4-1) vs Seahawks (4-5)
Tommy - The Packers are coming off a proud victory, but were playing Brock Osweiler and not Russell Wilson. Taking him on in Seattle will be tough, plus the Packers are winless on the road this season. That will continue, as both teams are still fighting for playoff hopes and the Seahawks will keep theirs alive. SEA 27-23
Lauren - Seattle put up a really good fight against the Rams last week. Their offense is looking better every game. Green Bay stomped the Dolphins in the cold weather. Their defense seems to have gotten into form. The Twelfth Man in Seattle will make it difficult game for Rodgers, but if his receivers can keep catching, I can see them coming out with a win here. GB 24-20
Marcus - Number stands out to me is that the Seahawks are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 home games on Thursday night. Plus Seattle plays really well at home. SEA 30-20
Brenden - This will be a very close game but I believe Aaron Rodgers will cut through the Seattle defense. As for the Seahawks, I don't believe they have the necessary weapons to outscore the Packers. GB 21-17
Cowboys (4-5) vs Falcons (4-5)Tommy - The difference in this one will be Elliot. His run game will destroy that Falcons defense, as they will need to focus on stopping him creating chances to find Cooper for the long ball. a lot of scoring, but Cowboys coming out on top. DAL 31-28
Lauren - The Cowboys won an unexpected game and the Falcons lost an unexpected game. Dallas played really well against the Philly defense, and the Atlanta defense looked awful against the Browns mediocre offense. It would not surprise me if the Cowboys came away with another win here against a beat-up Falcons team. DAL 24-17
Marcus - The Cowboys held their own against the Super Bowl champs on the road, and I like Dallas to get the win against the Dirty Birds this week. DAL 28-24
Brenden - I admit being a Niners fan, I could be bias. But I see this being a back and forth game until one of these non-existent defenses decides to show up. Atlanta has a little bit of a better one than Dallas I think. ATL 30-24
Panthers (6-3) vs Lions (3-6)
Tommy - The Lions have had a big weakness on defense this year and that is stopping the run game. McCaffrey will destroy that Detroit line and have a blast doing a dance or two running into the enzone. The Panthers defense just gave up the most points in week 10, they will be angry and know this game means a lot more to them then it does to the 3-6 Lions. CAR 30-20
Lauren - Both of these teams are coming off super embarrassing losses. Christian McCaffrey has a decent night against Pitt, but not good enough. Stafford had to fight a tough Bears defense and another tough one in Carolina. I think McCaffrey will be able to run through the Lion's line for another good night. CAR 28-21
Marcus - My boy McCaffrey has been on fire over the last couple weeks and I like for him to continue his great season. Watch out Motown, here comes the former Stanford Cardinal. CAR 27-20
Brenden - I don't have much to say in this game, other than the Panthers are going to roar past the Lions. Some action from Newton, but little excitement other than that. CAR 27-24
Titans (5-4) vs Colts (4-5)
Tommy - The Titans looked great against the Patriots. But they are one of those teams that can be totally different in the next week. With the amount of pressure I saw them put on Brady though, I think Luck and his beat up team is in trouble. The Titans will make the difference in the game with turnovers and stay in the playoff hunt. TEN 28-21
Lauren - If the Titans can beat Brady and the Pats, then they should be able to own the Colts. The Colts have so many injuries, especially on defense. They are going to be lucky if they keep the score close. But the Colts offense can be explosive if they want to be. Titans defense will have to work hard. TEN 23-17
Marcus - After beating the Pats, I gotta take the Titans here. No lapse in their game as the Titans are 6-0 ATS and straight up in their last 6 divisional games. TEN 27-21
Brenden - The Colts and Titans game will be interesting after the Titans win over the Patriots. But with that Ebron and Luck hook up it is over. Ebron is a touchdown machine so the only way the Titans can win is to keep Luck out of the red zone. IND 28-10
Buccaneers (3-6) vs Giants (2-7)
Tommy - Fitzpatrick may not always explode with offense, but I am trusting that defense of theirs. Eli will turn and get owned over and over again. It will be a close game, but the Bucs will take it. TB 23-21
Lauren - New York actually looked pretty good on Monday. But they were playing the Niners. Tampa isn't the greatest tea, but their defense has shown up this year. The Giants have the advantage in the running game with Barkley, but I don't think he will help them as much as they need. FitzMagic gets the win. TB 20-16
Marcus - Dare I pick the G-Men, two weeks in a row?!?! Well FitzMagic has been off and on and Eli looked not to bad against Santa Clara. Bucs are 1-6 ATS & straight up over the last 7 weeks. NYG 27-17
Brenden - The Bucs just seem better, I mean the Giants almost lost to one of the worst teams int he NFL, the 49ers. It took the lucky Eli and his mojo to save them. I see a close one though. TB 21-20
Texans (6-3) vs Redskins (6-3)
Tommy - Watson, Watt, and Hopkins are rested and taking on a dinged up Redskins team. Smith will face a lot of pressure and he doesn't have the moves liHOU 26-20
ke Watson does to escape it and still make something of the play. The Texans will come up with the extra first downs to take this one.
Lauren - Washington was barley able to put any points against the Bucs. They are going to have a hell of a time trying to score against a rested Texans defense. The Redskins need their defense to step it up and and keep Watson from reaching Hopkins in order to win this one. A feat I don not see them being able to complete. HOU 23-20
Marcus - This should be a pretty good matchup but with some recent injuries to the Skins, I like Houston to take this one. HOU 28-20
Brenden - Eh I don't know what to say, I believe in veterans over rookies. I think the Redskins have the experience to pull over the young Texans. WSH 24-10
Steelers (6-2-1) vs Jaguars (3-6)
Tommy - The Steelers will be saying LeVeon who, even if he somehow rejoins the team. Connor has been a beast and the Steelers defense will expose Bortles again. The run game will kill the Jags in the first half, then short passes to McDonald and Connor, followed by bombs to Antonio Brown will finish them off. Steelers will force turnovers and make the Jaguars pay. PIT 37-17
Lauren - The Steelers put a hurt on a good Carolina team. James Connor and the Steelers receivers look unstoppable. Jacksonville's offense looked a little better last week, but I think that was because they faced an injury-ravaged Colts team. Pit wins this easy-ish. PIT 28-20
Marcus - What happened to the Jags?! Didn't they play in the AFC Championship last season? Welp not this year, looks like the Steel Curtain could be playing in that game they way they've been firing so far this season. PIT 30-17
Brenden - To many weapons on offense and with Connor making everyone forget about Bell. If you try to stop him then you are screwed over the top with Brown and JuJu. Big Ben has to hit them all. PIT 30-20
Bengals (5-4) vs Ravens (4-5)
Tommy - Flacco has an injured hip, will this be Jackson's big week and time to take over behind the line? Either way, until I know Green is healthy I have little faith in the Bengals. BAL 20-17
Lauren - The Bengals looked pathetic last week against the Saints. This week they face a defense that is much better than New Orleans. The question is, which Baltimore quarterback will they face? Joe Falcco has a tender hip and it's very possible that we see a lot of Lamar Jackson. Still I don't think it matters which QB starts for the Ravens, they should beat Cincy. BAL 28-18
Marcus - Can the Bungals bounce back after last weeks performance? Well I think they play like the Bengals this week, Cincy is 8-2 straight up in their last 10 games against the Ravens. CIN 24-23
Brenden - I think Flacco is going to try to prove to everyone that he still has it. But will fall short. What better way then being the underdog and winning, taking on a much better defense too. CIN 20-17
Raiders (1-8) vs Cardinals (2-7)
Tommy - A couple teams with players trying to prove they are worth signing in the offseason. Fitzgerald will have a good game as the Cardinals take this one rather easily. ARI 23-18
Lauren - Praise the NFL gods the Cardinals may get another win here. The Raiders are just not a good team. Their offense doesn't click, their defense can't stop anything, they're just not a cohesive team. The Cardinals just have some aging players and a new QB to break in. Rosen will get some goof practice here. ARI 24-13
Marcus - Oh gosh, talk about a snooooze fest! Both teams playing for pride and draft pick order. But since Arizona has a better home record in their last 7 games, 5-2 I'll take the Cardinals. ARI 28-17
Brenden - Two joke teams facing off. I will keep it simple. ARI 24-20
Broncos (3-6) vs Chargers (7-2)
Tommy - Both sides should give us a good show with their run game. But I trust Rivers to out perform the Broncos and get his team the win, especially will clutch red zone plays to get the TD instead of FG. LAC 28-20
Lauren - The Chargers are coming off an easy win in Oakland, but they can't get complacent. Denver has a good defense and they got to rest last week. The Chargers will get a lot f help if Bosa finally comes back this week, but that is still an uncertainty. The Broncos running back Lindsay will have his work cut out for him against a decent Chargers defense. I think the Bolts come out on top. LAC 19-14 Marcus - San Diego Suer Chargers!! The Chargers are playing really well right now and can beat Denver, even if the game where to be held in a soccer stadium...oh wait it is!! LAC 35-10
Brenden - This is a tough one because I believe the defense of Denver is till one of the best in the NFL but with no offense they are falling. The Broncos will be in the game for a while but will concede from being on the field long. Chargers shock the Broncos into submission. LAC 28-7
Eagles (4-5) vs Saints (8-1)
Tommy - Ranked #1 now in the power rankings, the Saints may have dropped the game in week 1 but have been nothing but a force since. People expect a good game between these two, but it will be a blow out. Saints at home, will pressure Wentz and expose the faults in the Eagles defense. NO 41-17
Lauren - Last week I would've said this going to be a really good game. After watching Philly lose to the Cowboys though, I'm not so sure anymore. The Saints look near unbeatable and they just added another WR in Brandon Marshall. The Eagles lost a huge defensive piece in Ronald Darby who tore his ACL. NO 38-27
Marcus - Nola baby!! Party on Bourbon Street! The Saints play well at home and are looking to challenge the Rams to see who will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. NO 38-24
Brenden - My no brainer of the week is the Saints pressing their holy will on the Eagles. Again I might be bias cause i don't like the Eagles but their defense is just not the same as it was last year. With a quarterback like Drew, the Eagles will get screwed! Just far to much offense to stop! NO 43-30
Vikings (5-3-1) vs Bears (6-3)
Tommy - This should be a great divisional game. These two team are fighting for the NFC North title this year with Rodgers struggling with his knee. I honestly think the difference in this game will be the fact it is at Solider Field where those Bears are better and will bring more punishment. Close, but Bears in the end. CHI 27-24
Lauren - The Vikings are well-rested after their bye week. The Bears are coming off a dominating game against another division rival in the Lions. These are two good defense and this will be a good test for both QBs. I think the Bears will take the win at home. CHI 24-17
Marcus - The new monsters of the midway keep getting better as the season progresses. I like Khalil Mack and the Bears defense to get a win against the Vikes. CHI 31-14
Brenden - This is going to be an old school defensive game with the Bears edging it out. It is really going to come down to the quarterbacks and I believe Trubisky will show why the Bears drafted him. CHI 17-10
Chiefs (9-1) vs Rams (9-1)
Tommy - Gurley is going to have to run like crazy to outdo the speed of Hill and Hunt. But now that the game is back in LA, I have to give the edge to the Rams. Their defense is a bit more reliable and Gurley looks just unstoppable right now. LAR 40-37Lauren - Rams came out with another close win last week against Seattle. KC got a win against Arizona, but it wasn't as dominating of a game as we all expected, and maybe that's because the Cardinals defense is still decent. Well, the Rams have a really, really good defense. Cant he Chiefs beat them? Is this a Super Bowl preview? I think the Chiefs take the win. KC 34-31
Marcus - The game has been moved from Mexico City to LA. The Rams had been training for elevation in Colorado. Under McVay the Rams are 7-0 against AFC opponents. I like the Rams to win but KC to cover. LAR 35-34
Brenden - As for the big game of the week, I am going for the upset. It is going to be tough with a good Rams defense but I think Mahomes will find a way to pick them apart. Goff on the other hand I don't see being smart enough to find a way into the enzone as often as the high scoring Chiefs. KC 30-27
